Completed (successful/maintained)

Country: USA

Goal

Technique: Hydrological restoration, clearing exotic vegetation, planting saltmarsh Before planting, site (8-ha area) was prepared by removing 2 m of soil. A channel was dredged along the entire north edge of the site to receive tidal input. The site was graded to an elevation of 30–80 cm National Geodetic Vertical Datum, sloping upward from the tidal channel to a berm constructed to protect the site from episodic flood flows. Excavation was completed and soil treatments were installed in January 20 Spatial extent 48 ha as reported. Reported project duration 2,3 year(s). Average survival 36,1% as reported.

A variable shows "pending" instead of a contribution when no domain area has been set for it yet — the share of the world a project touched cannot be computed without one. The health percentages are accurate regardless.
